FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to LpxC inhibitor antibacterial compounds, corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, processes and methods of compound preparation, treatment methods and uses for bacterial infections.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Over the past several decades, the frequency of antimicrobial resistance and its association with serious infectious diseases has increased at alarming rates. For example, in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria, combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year. In Europe, where hospital surveys have been conducted, the category of Gram-negative infections are estimated to account for two-thirds of the 25,000 deaths each year. Nosocomial infections can cause severe pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract, bloodstream and other parts of the body. Many types are difficult to attack with antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance is spreading to Gram-negative bacteria that can infect people outside the hospital (see, Pollack, Andrew. “Rising Threat of Infections Unfazed by Antibiotics” New York Times, Feb. 27, 2010). This high rate of resistance increases the morbidity, mortality, and costs associated with nosocomial infections. In addition, the costs and regulatory challenges associated with the development of new antibacterial agents, combined with the perception of modest future profitability, has unfortunately resulted in most major pharmaceutical companies exiting anti-infective drug research at a time when it is most needed. While it has been regularly stated that there is a great need to identify novel lead series with new antibacterial modes of action, in reality this goal remains highly elusive.

The problem of antibacterial resistance is compounded by the existence of bacterial strains resistant to multiple antibacterials. It is conventionally taught in the art that among: Gram-negative resistance includes extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis, high-level third-generation LpxC (Amp C) beta-lactamase resistance among Enterobacter species and Citrobacter freundii, and multidrug-resistance genes observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.

Drug resistant Gram-negative infections are an increasing threat to public health, especially for seriously ill, hospitalized patients. Infections arising from multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species as well as drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae present formidable challenges for the medical community as few treatment options remain. Unfortunately, while resistance to current therapies continues to spread, new clinical agents to treat these infections are few in number.

One of the emerging targets in Gram-negative bacteria is the biosynthetic pathway of lipid A, typically a phosphorylated, hexaacylated glucosamine disaccharide that makes up the outer leaflet of the outer membrane. The outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria is comprised of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that serves as the permeability barrier to protect the bacterium against antibiotics. As the membrane anchor of LPS, Lipid A is essential for LPS assembly in the outer membrane. Since lipid A is the toxic component of LPS and is required for the bacterial viability, inhibition of its biosynthesis is lethal to bacteria. Hence, inhibitors targeting the enzymes in the biosynthesis of lipid A may serve as the antibiotics selective against Gram-negative pathogens and reduce Gram-negative sepsis more effectively. Among the nine unique enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC), is a zinc-dependent metalloamidase, which catalyzes the first committed, second overall step in the biosynthetic pathway of lipid A. Additionally, LpxC is highly conserved among Gram-negative bacteria and shares no sequence homology with any other known zincmetalloenzymes.

Thus, LpxC has become an attractive target for the structure-based drug design, and research on LpxC inhibitors is a very promising strategy in the development of current antibiotic therapy for Gram-negative bacteria. Intensive efforts have been spent in recent years to identify LpxC inhibitors for the development of antibacterial drug design and agents targeting Gram-negative bacteria. As no inhibitors of LpxC have been approved to date, antibiotics from this new chemical class would likely overcome pre-existing class specific mechanisms of resistance such as extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemases (KPCs), and the recently described New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1).

Thus, there is a need for new antibacterials, particularly antibacterials with novel LpxC mechanisms of action.

In light of the above, a need exists to develop compounds of the present invention, which provides LpxC compounds that exhibit potent antimicrobial spectrum against a variety of bacteria including Gram negative bacteria, corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, treatment methods and uses for bacterial infections.

The present invention is directed to overcoming these and other problems encountered in the art.

“Oxo” represents a double-bonded oxygen moiety; for example, if attached directly to a carbon atom forms a carbonyl moiety (C═O), or attached to an N or S forms oxides, N-oxides, sulfones or sulfoxides.

As used herein, the term “compound(s) of the invention” means a compound of Formulas (I) to (VI), respectively (as defined above) in any form, i.e., any salt or non-salt form (e.g., as a free acid or base form, or as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and any physical form thereof (e.g., including non-solid forms (e.g., liquid or semi-solid forms), and solid forms (e.g., amorphous or crystalline forms, specific polymorphic forms, solvates, including hydrates (e.g., mono-, di- and hemi-hydrates)), and mixtures of various forms.

As used herein, the term “optionally substituted” means that a group, such as, which may include, but is not limited to alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, etc., may be unsubstituted, or the group may be substituted with one or more substituent(s) as defined. In the case where groups may be selected from a number of alternative groups the selected groups may be the same or different.

The term “independently” means that where more than one substituent is selected from a number of possible substituents, those substituents may be the same or different.

The present invention relates to a compound of Formulas (I) to (VI), which definition referred herein includes, but are not limited to the following related sub-generic Formulas (II) and (IX).

The alternative definitions for the various groups and substitutent groups of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, provided throughout the specification are intended to particularly describe each compound species disclosed herein, individually, as well as groups of one or more compound species. The scope of this invention includes any combination of these group and substituent group definitions.

The alternative definitions for the various groups and substitutent groups of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, provided throughout the specification are intended to particularly describe each compound species disclosed herein, individually, as well as groups of one or more compound species. The scope of this invention includes any combination of these group and substituent group definitions.

Enantiomers, Diastereomers and Polymorphs

The compounds according to Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the present invention may contain one or more asymmetric center (also referred to as a chiral center) and may, therefore, exist as individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or other stereoisomeric forms, or as mixtures thereof. Chiral centers, such as chiral carbon atoms, may also be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral center present in Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or in any chemical structure illustrated herein, is not specified the structure is intended to encompass all individual stereoisomers and all mixtures thereof. Thus, compounds according to Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, containing one or more chiral center may be used as racemic mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically pure individual stereoisomers.

Individual stereoisomers of a compound according to Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which contain one or more asymmetric center may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation. When a disclosed compound or its salt is named or depicted by structure, it is to be understood that the compound or salt, including solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, may exist in crystalline forms, non-crystalline forms or a mixture thereof. The compound or salt, or solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, may also exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline forms). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” It is to be understood that when named or depicted by structure, the disclosed compound, or solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, also include all polymorphs thereof. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the conditions used in crystallizing/recrystallizing the compound.

Salts

Because of their potential use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of Formulas (I) to (VI), respectively, are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those described by Berge, Bighley and Monkhouse J.Pharm.Sci (1977) 66, pp 1-19.

When a compound of the invention is a base (contain a basic moiety), a desired salt form may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, including treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid or the like. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycollates, tartrates mandelates, and sulfonates, such as xylenesulfonates, methanesulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates and naphthalene-2-sulfonates.

If an inventive basic compound is isolated as a salt, the corresponding free base form of that compound may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic base, suitably an inorganic or organic base having a higher pK_(a) than the free base form of the compound.

When a compound of the invention is an acid (contains an acidic moiety), a desired salt may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary, or tertiary), an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as ethylene diamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine, as well as inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.

Certain of the compounds of this invention may form salts with one or more equivalents of an acid (if the compound contains a basic moiety) or a base (if the compound contains an acidic moiety). The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric salt forms.

Because the compounds of this invention may contain both acid and base moieties, pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared by treating these compounds with an alkaline reagent or an acid reagent, respectively. Accordingly, this invention also provides for the conversion of one pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of this invention, e.g., a hydrochloride salt, into another pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of this invention, e.g., a sodium salt or a disodium salt.

Carboxylate functional groups of compounds of the present invention have coordinated mono or di-valent cations, where such cations may include, but are not limited to alkali metals, which may include, but are not limited to lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium, or mixtures thereof and the like.

Quarternary amine functional groups of compounds of the present invention, which are positively charged species, also may have coordinated anions, where such anions may include, but are not limited to halogens, which may include, but are not limited to chlorides, fluorides, bromides, iodides and the like.

Compounds of Formulas (I) to (VI) of the present invention, also may form a zwitterion(s) (formerly called a dipolar ion), which is a neutral molecule with a positive and a negative electrical charge (i.e., not dipoles) at different locations within that molecule. Zwitterions are sometimes also called inner salts.

Solvates

For solvates of the compounds of the invention, or salts thereof, that are in crystalline form, the skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically-acceptable solvates may be formed wherein solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve nonaqueous solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and ethyl acetate, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as “hydrates.” Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.

Deuterated Compounds

The invention also includes various deuterated forms of the compounds of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Each available hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom may be independently replaced with a deuterium atom. A person of ordinary skill in the art will know how to synthesize deuterated forms of the compounds of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the present invention. For example, deuterated materials, such as alkyl groups may be prepared by conventional techniques (see for example: methyl-d₃-amine available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., Cat. No. 489,689-2).

Isotoptes

The subject invention also includes isotopically-labeled compounds which are identical to those recited in Formulas (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number most commonly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, iodine and chlorine such as ³H, ¹¹C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁸F, ¹²³I or ¹²⁵I.

Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present invention. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H or ¹⁴C have been incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, ie. ³H, and carbon-14, ie. ¹⁴C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. ¹¹C and ¹⁸F isotopes are particularly useful in PET (positron emission tomography).

Purity

Because the compounds of the present invention are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions it will readily be understood that they are each preferably provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least 75% pure and preferably at least 85%, especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight for weight basis). Impure preparations of the compounds may be used for preparing the more pure forms used in the pharmaceutical compositions.

As shown in Scheme 1, 3 can be prepared by reacting the appropriate alkyl chloride 1 with a nucleophilic sulfinate, such as sodium methansulfinate, in an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol. The resulting sulfonyl compound 2 can be treated with an appropriate base, such as sodium hydride, and reacted with a suitable alkyl halogen, such as an alkyl bromide, can provide the analogous racemic compound, such as rac-3. This material can then be subject to chiral chromatography to resolve the enantiomers and can afford the appropriate chiral material, such as 3.

As shown in Scheme 2, compound 3 can be condensed with compound 4 using a suitable base, such as cesium carbonate, in an appropriate polar solvent, such as dimethyl formamide or acetonitrile, affording compound 5. The ester can be converted to the acid using methods known in the literature and familiar to those skilled in the art using reageants, such as lithium hydroxide, in the appropriate solvents, such as water and/or tetrahydrofuran. The hydroxamic acid can be incorporated into the molecule using a suitably protected hydroxlamine (Pg=protecting group), such as O-tetrahydropyran-2-ylhydroxylamine, using standard amide coupling procedures, such as 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine, and an appropriate base, such a N-methylmorpholine, in a suitable solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran. The coupling reaction of 7 can be carried out may a variety of reactions or techniques. The carbon-carbon bond can be formed using a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and such reagents R will be a boronic acid or boronic ester. These reactions can be carried out using suitable catalyst, such as palladium or nickel, in an appropriate solvent, such as dioxane and/or water. Depending upon the nature of the protecting group, the hydroxamic acid can be revealed using an appropriate deprotection reaction, such as HCl, in a suitable solvent such as 1,4-dioxane.

As exemplified in scheme 3, acid 14 can be converted to compound 15 using a suitable nitration conditions such as sulfuric acid and potassium nitrate and this product can be reduced to the corresponding amine using a reduction systems, such as tin chloride in aqueous hydrochloric acid. The amine can be condensed with a suitable electrophile such as formamide at high temperatures to form the quinazolinone core. Compound 17 can be condensed as described in scheme 2.

Scheme 4 describes the synthesis of the 8-fluoroquinazalinone core starting with the appropriate aniline. Compound 18 can be converted to 19 using an aldehyde equivalent such as 2,2,2-trichloroethane-1,1-diol, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium sulfate in aqueous HCl. Compound 19 can be converted to 20 using a strong acid such as sulfuric acid. Ring opened compound 21 can be generated using a suitable system such as hydrogen peroxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The quinazalinone core can then be made as described in Scheme 3 and this can be condensed with compound 3 as described in scheme 2.

Compound 27 can be condensed with compound 3 as described in scheme 2.

Triazinone compound 30 can be prepared starting from acid 28, which can be converted to primary amide 28 using the appropriate amide coupling conditions, such as HOBt/EDC in THF with ammonia. Compound 30 can be condensed with compound 3 as described in scheme 2.

The 4-fluoroisoquinolinone derivative 32 can be can made as shown in scheme 7. Previously described compound 9 can be converted to compound 31 using the appropriate fluorinating reagent, such as Selectfluor in aqueous acetonitrile. The methanol can be eliminated using the appropriate condition such as HCl in DCM.

Compound 33 can be made by directly condensing compound 5 with commercially available 4-bromo-2-(2-chloroethyl)benzoyl chloride using the appropriate conditions, such as triethylamine in THF followed by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide in 1,4-dioxane.

Compounds 46 and 49 can be transformed to 47 and 50, respectively, using typical Suzuki coupling conditions such as an appropriate aryl boronate or aryl boronic acid, PdCl₂(dppf), K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile and water. The suitably protected hydroxylamines, such as O-tetrahydropyran-2-ylhydroxylamine derivatives (50) can be deprotected using a suitable acid system, such as TFA or HCl. Alternatively, the ethyl esters, such as compound 47, can be directly converted to the hydroxylamine 48.

As shown in scheme 13, certain compounds can be made by converting the aryl bromide derivatives (46) to the aryl boronic acid using the appropriate conditions such as 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborolane), PdCl₂(dppf)-DCM adduct, KOAc in 1,4-dioxane to afford derivatives related to compound 51. Suzuki coupling the appropriate aryl halide can then be performed as described in scheme 12 to afford compounds related to 52. Conversion of 52 to the desired hydroxamates can be accomplished as described previously.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprised of novel compounds of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s).

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, further may comprise an additional active agent.

The compounds of the invention will normally, but not necessarily, be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition prior to administration to a patient.

Accordingly, the present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions or formulations, which comprise a compound or compound species of the present invention and pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient(s). In particular, the present invention also may relate to a pharmaceutical composition or formulation, which comprises a compound as defined by Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s), and optionally one or more other therapeutic ingredients.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein an effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders, syrups, and solutions for injection. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form. For oral application, for example, one or more tablets or capsules may be administered. A dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this invention (i.e., a compound of Formulas (IA), (I) to (VI), respectively, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof). When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions or formulations may contain from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of this invention.

The pharmaceutical compositions or formulations as defined herein typically contain one compound of the present invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain more than one compound of the present invention. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may optionally further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient” means a material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically-acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically-acceptable.

Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition.

For example, certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance. Moreover, pharmaceutical compositions, formulations, dosage forms, and the like, etc. may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.

All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.

Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anti-caking agents, humectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.

Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients.

Biological Examples Mechanism of Action

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria serves as a barrier to small molecules, including drugs. This outer membrane consists of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and is essential for bacterial viability. The hydrophobic anchor of LPS is Lipid A which is synthesized by nine enzymes of the Lpx pathway. LpxC (UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine) is the second step in the Lpx pathway and is the first committed step (Barb and Zhou Curr. Pharm. Biotechnol, 2008, 9-15). It is a Zn-dependent deacetylase that is highly conserved in Gram-negative bacteria with no known mammalian homologue. Inhibition of LpxC results in cell death of Gram-negative organisms and has not been shown to be present in Gram-positive bacteria and as such is an attractive target for the discovery of novel antibacterials targeted to Gram-negative pathogens (Barb, et al, Biochemistry, 2007, 46, 3793-3802).

The compounds described inhibit the enzyme activity of LpxC in in vitro assays of LpxC activity.

In addition, they show whole cell antibacterial activity against a variety of Gram-negative pathogens, including multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens as set forth in detail below and as defined throughout the present specification, including, but not limited to Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and MDR P. aeruginosa.

Biological Assay(S)

P. aeruginosa Enzymatic Assay

Materials:

Untagged Pseudomonas LpxC was expressed in E Coli from Psuedomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and purified from Q-Sepharose 1 and Q-Sepharose 2 columns. UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine Substrate was obtained through a custom synthesis from Alberta Innovates Technology Futures.

Method:

Untagged Pseudomonas LpxC is a deacetylase, which can remove an acetyl-group from UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine to result in a product that is 42 Daltons less than the original acetylated substrate. Direct detection of the deactylated product and acetylated substrate is accomplished through an Agilent RapidFire v. 3.4/Sciex 4000 Q-Trap RF-MS instrument.

400 nL of 100× inhibitor sample in DMSO (or DMSO controls) were stamped into a 384-well Greiner PP V-shape plate (127.8/85/15 mm), followed by addition of 20 μL of 2× enzyme [7.680 mL buffer (0.05% CHAPS, 100 ug/mL BSA, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl in water)+2 μL of 125 uM Untagged Pseudomonas LpxC] and 10 uL 1N HCl to the inactive control wells. Following a 30 minute incubation, 20 μL of 2× substrate [7.680 buffer+5 uL of UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine (at 10 mM Stock)] was added and incubated for 25 minutes. 10 uL of 1N HCl was added to quench the reaction. The plate was loaded onto the Agilent RapidFire v. 3.4/Sciex 4000 Q-Trap RF-MS instrument for analysis, using a C₄ SPE cartridge and 2 mM ammonium acetate in 100 v/v water as the aqueous eluent and 5 mM ammonium acetate in 25% v/v/25% v/v acetonitrile/water as the organic eluent. For dose response experiments, % conversion were determined from the substrate and product analytes and normalized data were fit by ABASE/XC50 using the equation y=a+(b−a)/(1+(10{circumflex over ( )}x/10{circumflex over ( )}c){circumflex over ( )}d), where a is the minimum % activity, b is the maximum % activity, c is the pIC50, and d is the Hill slope. ¹Langsdorf, Erik F. et al.

E. Coli Enzyme Assay Materials

Untagged E. Coli LpxC 1-300 was expressed in E Coli and purified with NiNTA Agarose, Superdex 200 and Mono Q columns. UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine Substrate was obtained through a custom synthesis from Alberta Innovates Technology Futures.

Method

Untagged E. Coli LpxC is a deacetylase, which can remove an acetyl-group from UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine (m/z 832.1→385) to result in a product (m/z 790.3→385) that is 42 Daltons less than the original acetylated substrate. Direct detection of the deacetylated product and acetylated substrate was accomplished through an Agilent RapidFire v. 3.4/Sciex 4000 Q-Trap RF-MS instrument. 400 nL of 100× inhibitor sample in DMSO (or DMSO controls) were stamped into a 384-well Greiner PP V-shape plate (Cat. #781280), followed by addition of 20 μL of 2× enzyme [6 nM final concentration; 39.999 mL buffer (0.05% CHAPS, 100 μg/mL BSA, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl in water)+1.5 μL of 324 μM Untagged E. coli LpxC] and 10 μL 1N HCl to the inactive control wells. Following a 30 minute preincubation, 20 L of 2× substrate [2 μM final concentration; 39.984 mL buffer+16 μL of UDP-3-O—(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-Acetylglucosamine (at 10 mM Stock)] was added and incubated for 25 minutes. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 10 μL of 1N HCl. The plate was loaded onto the Agilent RapidFire v. 3.4/Sciex 4000 Q-Trap RF-MS instrument for analysis [C4 SPE cartridge, 2 mM ammonium acetate in 100 v/v water as the aqueous eluent and 5 mM ammonium acetate in 25% v/v/25% v/v/50% v/v acetonitrile/acetone/water as the organic eluent]. For dose response experiments % conversion were determined from the substrate and product extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) areas and normalized to the assay high and low controls. Normalized data were fit by ActivityBase XE using the equation y=a+(b−a)/(1+(10{circumflex over ( )}x/10{circumflex over ( )}c){circumflex over ( )}d), where a is the minimum % activity, b is the maximum % activity, c is the pIC50, and d is the Hill slope. ¹Langsdorf, Erik F. et al.

Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; Twenty-Second Informational Supplement; M100-S22 Vol. 32 No. 3; Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, Wayne, Pa., January 2012.

Broth microdilution was performed in accordance with the CLSI recommended procedures for aerobic bacteria [CLSI, 2012].

Comparator compound stock solutions were prepared as recommended by CLSI [CLSI, 2012]. The stock solutions of novel GSK compounds were prepared at 512 mcg/mL by dissolving the compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diluting 1:10 with sterile water. The 512 mcg/mL stock was further serially diluted in the recommended broth media for the organisms being tested. Final DMSO concentration in test wells was less than 1%.

Microtitre plates were prepared using the Microlab STAR™ (Hamilton Co., Reno, Nev.) to add media (50 μL) and the Microlab AT Plus system (Hamilton Co., Reno, Nev.) to serially dilute the compounds (final concentration range 0.125 to 128 mcg/mL) and to add inoculum. A positive growth control well containing medium and the test isolate was included on each microtitre plate. Ten microliters of the test medium from the positive growth control well was plated to determine the purity of each test isolate. A microtitre mirror reader (Cooke Instruments, Ltd., England) was used to assist in determining the microdilution MIC endpoints. The MIC was determined as the lowest concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth of the organism.
